I had my surgery on 12/21 and have been doing very well with recovery. Zero nausea, manageable pain...only thing I'm still struggling with is gas/bloating/constipation which I'm working on with over the counter meds. I'm following my post-op diet faithfully and getting 80g Protein and 64g Water. I'm able to drink about 8oz of water, soup or Protein shake in 15-20 mins. The literature my dr sent home with me - as well as everything I'm reading here in the forums - indicates it should be taking me upwards of 2 hours to consume 8 oz at this stage. Does this indicate something is wrong with my sleeve? Is it too big? I also feel hunger that I believe to be real and not just in my head. Curious if anyone else has had an experience like me, or if this is something I should address with my dr. next week?

I'm on day six and feeling much better physically. The incisions on either side of my belly button are the most sore and irritated. The rest of my incisions don't hurt but itch like crazy. Gas is pretty much gone now but still no BM. I'm keeping with the Miralax routine. I have no trouble eating a yogurt or pudding cup or cup of creamy soup in about 20-3O min. I'm hungry for "real food" and wish I could move on to the purée stage! How's everyone else feeling?
